Addiction Again
Image by dtarpennation
The latest addition to my collection: Invicta R8 (Russian Diver + Sea Spider hybrid). Carbon fiber dial. Certainly the most pedestrian of all my timepieces thus far, but it fills a need. Nothing fancy, very utility. Polyurethane bracelet. Gunmetal Stainless Steel Case displays a fixed coin-edge bezel. Numbered, limited edition. 52mm case.

www.victorinoxblog.com A. Lange & Söhne’s story For 100 years, A. Lange & Söhne pocket watches were among the most coveted timepieces in the world – until World War II when A. Lange & Söhne was forced into a 50-year hiatus. In 1990, immediately after Germany was reunited, Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s great grandson Walter Lange re-established the Lange Brand. Today, Lange is again crafting horological masterpieces “Made in Germany” – indeed, A. Lange & Söhne watches are now every bit as precious and unique as in the grand old days. 1845 Ferdinand Adolph Lange established Saxon precision watchmaking industry in Glashütte, near Dresden in Germany. 1898 Kaiser William II ordered a magnificent A. Lange & Söhne pocket watch: it was a gift to Sultan Abdul Hamid II on the occasion of a visit to the Ottoman Empire. 1924 Walter Lange is born in Dresden. He will follow the footsteps of his forebears and learns the art of watchmaking. 1945 On the last day of World War II, Lange’s main production workshops are bombed. 1948 The company is seized and expropriated by the communist regime. Walter Lange is forced to flee his homeland. The family business is transformed into a people’s collective, the Lange brand disappears, and “A.

The Lost Watch 3D Screensaver Has Been Released
(PRWEB) December 4, 2004
Lost Watch Screensaver is probably the most unusual 3D screensaver you’ll ever see.
Timepieces are favorites of screensaver artists. But…you’ve never seen a pocket watch like this. It’s an exact replica of an 18th century Abraham-Louis Breguet’s timepiece, made by a man who is often called the greatest genius of watchmaking who ever lived. And the best part – that’s not even the point.
An absent-minded traveler dropped his golden pocket watch while crossing a river. A few coins fell out as well. Years went by, but the timepiece is still working just fine even though there is no one to wind it up. So here it lies on the bottom of the river, with sun streaks playing with the clocks hands.
This is the exact picture I saw during my California vacation in the Sierra Mountains near Auburn last spring. I was so stunned by how beautiful it was I decided to create a screensaver about it. Now you can see it too.

From pocket watches to jewelry watches, Chopard has been manufacturing reliable timepieces since 1860. It was in that year that Louis-Ulysse Chopard set up his Swiss Jura-based factory. After being in the Chopard family for three generations, the company was acquired in 1963 by the Scheufele family, whose hands-on ownership has transformed the prestigious brand.
